Fair enough. Looking at the file histories shows that the Elementium Ingot used to be Elementium Ore, and the old Elementium Bar got moved to Hardened Elementium Bar before it became Enchanted Elementium Bar. There's a lot of F-ing disambiguation needed for all that switching. --[[User:Eirik Ratcatcher|Eirik Ratcatcher]] ([[User talk:Eirik Ratcatcher|talk]]) 17:16, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

:::...So you're saying that we should disambig from the bar to the "ore" because the new name of the ore has a similar meaning to "bar"? I'm not quite sure I follow the logic. Disambig pages are to help with navigation when someone might be looking for something else. While in a real-world sense ingots and bars are the same thing, the word ingot is ''never'' used in that sense in WoW, so I don't see why a disambig would be needed for anything but referencing the Blackwing Lair versions of these items that were renamed and vice-versa. -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] ([[User talk:Dark T Zeratul|talk]]) 19:14, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Elementium Ingot disambig

Fair enough. Looking at the file histories shows that the Elementium Ingot used to be Elementium Ore, and the old Elementium Bar got moved to Hardened Elementium Bar before it became Enchanted Elementium Bar. There's a lot of F-ing disambiguation needed for all that switching. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 17:16, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

We shouldn't need a dismabig to the ingot from the bar at all, though. It's already disambig'd from the ore, which is what it used to be called, as well as the elementium page. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 17:31, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
... except for the unfortunate similarity between "Ingot" and "Bar". -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eirik Ratcatcher (talk · contr).
